Chub was such a great person and in so many ways. He was a wonderful example for myself and many other men in St. Augustine and beyond! I will be out of town for his service but you can be certain we will be there in spirit!

So many memories from childhood to adult are surrounded by "my Robshaw Family". Times at "the farm", Camp Blanding and Linville Falls are fondest. Though life and circumstances of recent years have created distance, love for you and your family have remained constant. Uncle Chub will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. chub was an exceptional man. We cherish all of the memories that we have of him and all of you through the years. We are a little jealous as he is sitting with mom, Pat Masters and all the rest of the group looking down and taking care of all us and our families. It's like having our own personal Angels. Love all of you, Kellie and Dale
